ABOUT

More Than Just Code.

I'm Dagim Abebe, a developer and builder based in Ethiopia. My work sits at the intersection of Web2, Web3, open-source software, and emerging technology.

I enjoy turning ideas into working products, building infrastructure that developers can rely on, and contributing to communities that make technology more accessible.

I'm particularly interested in blockchain infrastructure, developer tooling, payment systems, authentication, and practical applications of decentralized technologies.

I believe in building openly, learning through implementation, and creating technology that can be useful beyond its original environment.

EXPERTISE

Areas I Build In.

Six areas where I spend most of my building time — from protocol-level work to the developer experience around it.

  1. 01

    Web3 Development

    Blockchain applications, smart contract integrations, wallet infrastructure, on-chain interactions, and decentralized systems.

  2. 02

    Backend Engineering

    TypeScript, Node.js, API architecture, authentication, RPC reliability, and scalable backend services.

  3. 03

    Web Development

    Modern web applications, responsive interfaces, product architecture, and full-stack development.

  4. 04

    Developer Infrastructure

    Reusable libraries, developer tools, SDKs, framework design, and open-source packages.

  5. 05

    Digital Payments

    Cross-border payment infrastructure, payment settlement concepts, stablecoins, and blockchain-based financial applications.

  6. 06

    Community Building

    Developer education, ecosystem growth, community initiatives, technical events, and connecting builders.

SELECTED PROJECTS

Things I've Been Building.

Products, infrastructure, and experiments built through code.

FEATURED / 01·WEB3 DEVELOPER INFRASTRUCTURE

Talak-web3

The Node.js Framework for Web3 Backends.

Talak-web3 is a TypeScript-first Node.js framework for building production-oriented Web3 backends, with a focus on authentication, RPC resilience, account abstraction, and reusable developer infrastructure.

  • Server-authenticated SIWE and session lifecycle
  • Redis-backed authentication and nonce stores for production
  • Multi-provider RPC failover with health tracking
  • Account-abstraction helpers in @talak-web3/tx
  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • SIWE
  • Redis
  • RPC
  • Account abstraction

BLOCKCHAIN / PAYMENTS

RemitStake Vaults

An exploration of blockchain-powered remittance infrastructure and programmable vaults.

Second Place — Creditcoin / Web3 Ethiopia Ideathon.

Public repositories, local demo only

  • TypeScript
  • Solidity
  • React
  • Node.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • Creditcoin

The README demo runs on localhost. There is no public live deployment linked from the repositories, so none is shown here.

BLOCKCHAIN / MULTILINGUAL APPLICATIONS

Cardano Ecosystem Project

A Cardano ecosystem project demonstrating decentralized applications and accessible digital experiences across African languages.

Cardano Hackathon Winner.

Earlier project

  • Cardano

This is a past project, not an active one. A public repository for it was not identified, so no repository or demo link is shown.

CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAM

AUTHENTICATION / SECURITY

ONT ID Secure Login Suite

An ONT ID authentication suite with challenge-response login, an anti-phishing phrase, signature preview, device binding, multi-account linking, and login history, built for ONTO Wallet. The repository includes a responsive frontend and a Node.js backend.

Public repository

  • JavaScript
  • Node.js

MILESTONES

Milestones Along the Way.

COMMUNITY

Building Beyond Code.

Technology grows through people. Alongside building products, I spend time connecting developers, supporting emerging ecosystems, and making technology opportunities more accessible.

FEATURED / POLYMARKET AFRICA BUILDERS

Polymarket Ethiopia

Community-building involvement within the Polymarket Africa Builders ecosystem. This is community participation, not employment or an official Polymarket role.

Ethiopia · community participation

  • Ethiopian Web3 ecosystem

    Participation in the broader Ethiopian blockchain and Web3 community through developer communities, events, technical discussions, ecosystem education, and builder networking.

  • Developer community building

    Work aimed at making developer tools, technical knowledge, and opportunities more available to builders in Ethiopia.

  • African technology ecosystem

    An interest in blockchain infrastructure, open-source development, AI and emerging technology, stablecoin and payment infrastructure, and developer access and education.
